Thanks for the feedback, all.
The belt buckle
Originally, it was a full square. It always annoyed me how bulky it was, so I attempted to create a thinner metal outline effect, just reflecting one side of it. Perhaps I didn't pull it off very well. There's not much room for maneuver.
The glove
The original design did have much bigger hands. This received the opposite criticism, I was told to make them smaller! Perhaps I will try recolouring the glove to a non-brown colour. The falconer will have a bird by his side throughout the game and constantly uses the glove to launch him at enemies, as seen below.
